Meh, if it drops it drops. I'll never have the relationship to social media I used to, because I don't want it anymore. If Lemmy can give me a few posts a day of things I might not normally see, that's enough for me. It doesn't need to be the next Reddit or whatever. After quitting Reddit I'm getting back into things I haven't done in years. I don't need that again.

Damn, this is exactly how I feel. Well said. I honestly feel free after spending over a decade on that god damn website.

Lemmys slow feed is helping me detox from my decade of reddit doomscrolling

Same. I've gotten back into hobbies that I had abandoned. It's really nice

Sense. Social media is overwhelmingly overrated.

Plus the graphs actually show that posts are up despite active users (people who make at least one post) being down. That means the people sticking are generally more willing to post and comment.

Amen brother. I was so addicted to Reddit i saw the things in the real world like Reddit posts. I'm glad I'm out and I'm not coming back, at least not to endlessly browse or get in any kind of content posting. It's still great for niche hobbies and solwing lots of issues with hardware, health, unbiased product reviews.

I’ve lately made a fun game out of seeing my daily screen time average drop steadily. The decline in average daily doom scrolling has correlated directly with an increase in my dating frequency and general social activity.

There’s, like, a whole world out there!
